The use of electromagnetic fields to manipulate cell activity is understudied in comparison to the use of small molecules, so it is always possible that meaningfully beneficial electromagnetic therapies might be awaiting discovery. The present lack of said therapies may be much more a matter of the lack of funding and experienced research groups needed for exploration and follow through rather than either an inherently greater difficulty in developing such therapies or an inherent lack of potential in this strategy. Here, researchers discuss whether one can use electromagnetism to manipulate the function and quality contro...
